Where we draw in West Southwark

Which Southwark neighbourhoods does this cover?

This page covers the western part of the borough — Camberwell, Peckham, Walworth and Nunhead fringe and the streets around them. The stock here is largely Georgian and Victorian terraces and mixed estate housing, and we prepare drawings across every one of those types for Southwark Council.

The Camberwell and Walworth conservation areas govern much of the west, where period terraces are extended and converted under design control by Southwark. Whichever route your address falls under, we confirm it free at the measured survey and design to match the western Southwark streetscape — from period rear and side-return extensions to rear-dormer and mansard loft conversions.
